They come and they go
Like memories made of sand
Like dust in the wind

Poetry with a Zen Twist
They come and they go
Like memories made of sand
Like dust in the wind

Here’s one I spat out this afternoon…
Inner body
Spiritual quarry
Sacred sanctuary
Godlike laboratory
Free mind
Third eye no longer blind
Compassionate, non-biased & kind
Seeks no more, no(-)thing to find
Free from the world of form
Stares without fear into the eye of the storm
The ego, the self, we no longer mourn
The shadow follows the light, without conform
Ghost in a shell
Escaping from hell
Nothing to buy, nothing to sell
Silence the demons, with peaceful quell

Attachment to "I"
Disappointment is result
Let go of the self

Pain washes away
With the tears of memory
Lake of light transforms

Broken dreams of youth
Desires that were not met then
Carries pain today
Except and forgive the want
Move on, embrace the present
